One quick factual question about the Toobin piece that Rick links to.  Toobin says that the "the Florida courts, interpreting Florida election law, [ordered] a statewide recount of all undervotes and overvotes; that is, ballots that indicated no Presidential preference or more than one."  My memory is different: the Florida Supreme Court's 4-3 decision ordered only a statewide recount of undervotes, not overvotes, and that was a basis of concern in both Justice Wells' dissent at the state level, as well as mentioned as a potential factor in the U.S. Supreme Court's Equal Protection analysis. 

I'm not currently in a position to go back and either confirm or refute my memory on this.  I'm wondering if any list members is in a position to easily and quickly do so.

Thanks very much, Ned
